Summary:
The 06359 zip code area is home to two high-performing schools, North Stonington Elementary School and Wheeler High School, both of which consistently outpace state averages on standardized tests and have earned strong ratings from SchoolDigger.
North Stonington School District appears to be providing an excellent education, with North Stonington Elementary ranked 62nd out of 497 elementary schools in Connecticut and Wheeler High ranked 29th out of 145 high schools. Both schools have high test scores, with 67-82% of students proficient or better in ELA and Math. The schools also benefit from high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, which likely contribute to their success.
However, the student demographics at both schools are predominantly White, with relatively low percentages of minority students. Additionally, the schools have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a relatively affluent student population. While these factors may contribute to the schools' strong academic performance, the district could explore ways to increase diversity and support for economically disadvantaged students.
